Ingredients
 

  • Avocado oil spray, or vegetable cooking spray of choice
  • 10 eggs
  • 1 cup greek yogurt, plain
  • ¼ cup almond milk, plain and unsweetened (or use regular milk)
  • ¾ tsp teaspoon salt
  • 4 green onion, diced (or 1 cup leeks sliced)
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 8 ounces asparagus spears, wood removed
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray an 8 x 13 inch baking dish with avocado oil spray or non-stick spray.
  • Spread out green onions on the bottom of the baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs, yogurt, milk, and salt.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the baking dish, covering the green onions.
  • Sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top of the egg mixture.
  • Arrange asparagus spears on top of the casserole, gently pressing them slightly into the egg mixture.
  • Bake in the oven uncovered for approximately 30 minutes or until the middle has set/the eggs are not runny. Total cook time may vary based on your oven, so be sure to keep an eye on it. If it looks like the top of the egg casserole is getting too brown, you can cover with Larder & Vine Baking Dish Cover or aluminum foil for the remainder of the cooking time.
